I don't think anyone is trying to mislead anyone here. We're discussing what we think might be the truth about the Oasis. None of us claim to have facts or the real answer.
Also the issue isn't how often do you have to plug the device in. If you keep the cover on it I think the Oasis will have to be charged less often than the Voyage. The problem is that plugged in or not, the Voyage is being charged by the cover and that may mean the battery's useful lifetime may be shorter.
This isn't really about whether someone should buy an Oasis. Those who have them seem to like them and that settles that. I worry about the battery so I don't have one. That's my answer for me. I think I'd like the form factor so I'm kind of sad about that.
A number of people who have read the concern about battery life and agreed with it have still gone on to buy an Oasis because they want that form factor. I don't see how anyone can have a problem with that.
As for people noticing reduced battery life I don't think it's been out long enough for that to happen. In another year or two we'll know more.
